City of Helsingfors,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating black and white engraving from the "Cassells Illustrated Family Paper; London Weekly" of December 1853-1854, showcases the picturesque harbor city of Helsingfors, now known as Helsinki, Finland. The image, created in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the city's stunning winter landscape. The print displays the Gulf of Finland's coastline, with the city nestled between the Baltic Sea and the rolling hills. The city's bridges, connecting the land and islands, crisscross the water, providing essential transportation links. In the foreground, horse-drawn sledges and sleighs are visible, indicating the wintry season. The harbor teems with activity, with various ships and boats anchored, waiting for their turn to navigate the waters. In the background, the city's structures, including the grand buildings and churches, stand tall against the snow-covered landscape. The print also highlights the city's connection to Russia, with the Russian influence evident in the architecture and the presence of Russian ships in the harbor. The image offers a unique perspective of the city's geography, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical imagery. The "City of Helsingfors" print, though unsigned, is a testament to the beauty and charm of the city during the 19th century. It invites us to imagine the bustling harbor, the horse-drawn transport, and the wintry weather that once defined life in this remarkable Baltic Sea city.
